Remarks on the FPP in Banach spaces with unconditional Schauder basis

Abstract

This paper brings new results on the FPP in Banach spaces $X$ with a Schauder basis. We first deal with the problem of whether there is a Banach space isomorphic to $\co$ having the FPP. We show that the answer is negative if $X$ contains a pre-monotone basic sequence equivalent to the unit basis of $\co$. We then study sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of such sequences. Interesting results are obtained, including the case when $X$ has a $1$-suppression unconditional basis and its unit ball fails the PCP. With regarding the weak-FPP, we establish two fixed-point results. First, we show that under certain conditions this property is invariant under Banach-Mazur distance one. Next, it is shown that when the basis is either $1$-suppression unconditional or $1$-spreading then $X$ has the weak-FPP provided that a Rosenthal's type property on block basis is verified.
